True leaf of cucumber was punched out with cork borer to 13 mm indiameter to prepare a leaf disk. In 24 well microwell plate that wasdispensed with 1 ml 0.8% water agar, the leaf disk was placed such thatthe upper side of the leaf was in an upward direction. Thereto wasspread 20 micro liter a testing solution prepared by mixing the presentamide compound and cypermethrin to a predetermined concentration (fortreated group). Control where 20 micro liter ion-exchange water wasspread was prepared (for non-treated group). After confirming that thespray solution was dried, conidium of gray mold fungus (Botrytiscinerea) was suspended into potato dextrose broth (DIFCO) in a densityof about 10⁵ conidia/mL and was then subjected to a spray inoculation.After leaving to stand the leaf disk in a growth chamber set up at 15°C. for six days, an onset area on each leaf was measured and apreventive value was then calculated by the following equation 1.
